Detailed explanation-1: -Perseus’ quest was to kill the Gorgon Medusa and bring back her head. Medusa was once a beautiful but vain girl. She made the mistake of boasting that she was the most beautiful girl in the land, better looking than any goddess.
Detailed explanation-2: -Perseus then proceeded to the Gorgons’ cave. In the cave he came upon the sleeping Medusa. By viewing Medusa’s reflection in his polished shield, he safely approached and cut off her head. From her neck sprang Pegasus ("he who sprang") and Chrysaor ("sword of gold"), the result of Poseidon and Medusa’s mating.
Detailed explanation-3: -Perseus was a character from ancient Greek mythology who was the son of a mortal woman and the Greek god, Zeus. He was forced out of his kingdom by his grandfather, the king, and then assigned an impossible quest by another king to defeat the evil Gorgon, Medusa and bring him her head.
